Neil Hannan's 2025 Vietnam Humanitarian Journey

Two days ago I learned that the village of Kim Tra is in dire need of assistance and subsequently received a proposal from Khanh. After reviewing and approving the proposal, I immediately transferred $1,000 to Khanh of  Hearts for Hue . The following day (today Vietnam time) aid was distributed to the 50 Kim Tra households most in need. The urgency of the situation cannot be overemphasized.  With Kim Tra, this makes 150 households in four villages to which we've provided critical funds ($20/household) for purchase of nutritional necessities. This all happened within just a couple days. Thanks to your support, these folks have food...and hope. And we're still rolling. YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN. Here are photos depicting Khanh and a Vietnam Women's Union official distributing aid at Kim Tra. Thank you, folks, for helping and healing!!!
